May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon us!

The men and women of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) join our Muslim brothers and sisters in celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.

This year’s observance of the holy month of Ramadan has been filled with challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The health crisis has tested our resolve as individuals and as a people.

Despite these trials, members of the Islamic faith have shown greater compassion, understanding, and solidarity, while observing the obligations and traditions in accordance with the fatwa of the Grand Mufti and the Darul Ifta.

As we continue to sustain the gains of peace in the Bangsamoro,  may we also continue to help those who are most in need, and pray for the health and recovery of our nation as we heal as one.

Eid al-Fitr Mubarak!
